About this project

Developed in Grasshopper, this algorithm generates parking spaces within a user-defined boundary with parametric control over street width, parking space width, depth, and angle. Streets can be included in the design, though the current version handles convex shapes.

For optimization, the Colibri plug-in enables batch generation and scenario comparison across multiple parameter combinations. Later versions integrated Human UI and ShapeDiver plug-ins to make the tool accessible to users without Grasshopper experience — the ShapeDiver version is publicly available at the link above.
